Welcome to the

Wayfarers Unity Chapel

Newsletter for Oct 31 - Nov 6, 2022

OOOPS!

In case you missed your newsletter last week, well, don't blame your internet provider or spam filter: you can't "get" what was never sent. I wrote it ... but apparently never hit the SEND button!!


THIS newsletter is chock-full of info so please read to the bottom.

THIS WEEK (11/6) - TIME CHANGE!

10 AM - SUNDAY SERVICE

The service time is still the same, but to enjoy Chris Casses' wonderful music and Garnett Nash's message, be sure to turn your clock back an hour Saturday night before you go to bed as Daylight Savings Time comes to an end this Sunday.


11 AM - ANNUAL MEETING OF THE MEMBERSHIP

Please make plans to attend the short annual meeting this Sunday immediately after the service. In this meeting, we will present the year's financial report, introduce and affirm the 2023 Board, and discuss plans and proposed budget for 2023.


IMMEDIATELY AFTER the ANNUAL MEETING >> POTLUCK!

There will be a Potluck dinner following the annual meeting next Sunday. Bring a dish to share but all are welcome to stay and eat even if you don't bring something. We have plenty. If the weather allows we will eat out on the deck. But if it is too cool or wet, we will have the gathering inside the chapel.


The current COVID risk in Rabun and Macon counties is LOW; however, the Flu is really doing it's thing, so the board will be deciding on a month-to-month basis about holding the Potluck Dinners.


Everyone is free to make the decision that is best for themselves. We are looking forward to a fun time together.

CHAPEL DONATIONS

We here at Wayfarers are so blessed and enjoy the ability to give back to our community. For several years we have donated money to charities as a part of our yearly budget. This year the board has chosen to support 3 local charities: FAITH, Paws for Life, and Food Bank of Northeast Georgia. Each organization received a $500 donation.

RECENTLY

On 10/23, our speaker and musician were unable to join us, so we did what Wayfarers are famous for - we all pitched in and had a WONDERFUL service. Marie Dunkle and Ruth Henry provided our music and Barbara Beckham facilitated our discussion about things we believe(d) we can't do and the consequences in our lives.

On 10/30, Crowe Capps provided our music and Jennifer Utley's talk, "You Matter" reminded us that God's plan for us is built into our design and each and every one of us matter!

 

BUILDING FUND DRIVE

for ROSEMARY's CHAPEL

Progress continues to move forward in fundraising and construction for updates and additions to RoseMary's Chapel. The interior has been repaired and painted, new lights installed, and construction of the new deck and new accessibility ramp has begun ... and the new flooring should be installed in the coming weeks.


Thanks to the amazing generosity of the membership and the 1:1 match from our gracious anonymous donor, at $3640, we are more than HALFWAY to our goal of $7500! If you wish to contribute, please note "Building Fund" on your check or be sure to put cash in the Building Fund Basket. THANK YOU.
